This time last week, I was nervously preparing for my hip replacement. How good it feels to talk about it in the past tense and to pass along positive reports. 

This past week seems to have passed ever so quickly and of course I can thank the very powerful drugs which has made it one very blurred memory. 

Thank you all so much for pampering me and surrounding me in your love, that is the part I will never forget ( even in a very stoned state of mind.) 

Phebe and Annie Doggies have slowed down and each time I move from one side of the cottage to the other, they move behind me, as if in slow motion in a respectful procession - it’s so beautiful and makes me smile. 

Alain Darling - considering we are like the blind leading the blind and you too are in recovery. I will never forget just how much effort you put in to helping me put on my support stockings each day. You get the support stocking medal! 

I’m longing to have my normal life back again and to be able to skip down the road with a wee smile on my face. It’s the little things in life. 

Thanks again for your love and kindness. Bye for now from this Hip Scottish Lassie.
Big Kiss,
Trish
